I never used the type before, but working with it now in a project. This project requires encrypted fields in the database for privacy-sensitive information.
I'm using ENCRYPTBYPASSPHRASE for that now and as you might guess this function transforms varchar data into varbinary type.
I think this type of encrypted storage will become more and more important!
Regards
Albert

Similarly to Albert the main use I've come across for binary data types is check sums generated by the hashbytes function.

Albert and Barney, thank you for the comments. Storing checksums and encrypted data are definitely good use cases for the varbinary data type.
